Setting up ATO Reporting categories

[julie-blacker]

How can i find the catagories for all STP Wages we have upgraded to 2018.1 with all employees ok. Just want to make sure all the income fields are correct.

Hi @julie-blacker

You can see the selected ATO Reporting Category for each AccountRight payroll category via the Payroll>>Payroll Categories list. If you are unsure as to what reporting category should be selected for a category I would recommend speaking to the ATO or an Accountant.

If you are referring to the accounts involved for those payroll categories, you can select the category and it will show you if an Optional Account has been selected. If that option is not enabled for the category it will use the default expense account for the employee - set in the employee's card>>Payroll Details>>Wages section.
